e-drum trigger pad

thingiverse

This e-drum trigger pad is a work in progress and currently functioning well. The creator is excited about the results so far and plans to build an entire e-drum set with a kick-trigger and cymbals. Updates can be found on Thingiverse, while the most recent changes are available on GitHub (https://github.com/Piesi/pE-Drums.git). Contributions are welcome! Non-printed requirements include a 6mm, 130mm threaded rod; four M6 75mm bolts; six M6 25mm bolts; one M6 50mm bolt; M6 nuts; a sensor piezo (like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Electronic_component_piezo.jpg); an 8" meshhead; and a jack socket. Additionally, sponge or felt is needed between the sensor and mesh for optimal performance, but a printable solution is being sought. The printed parts of this version weigh approximately 375g. For printing instructions, every part should be printed at least once, except for baseC (printed twice) and rim files (printed four times). The largest part, the shell, has a diameter of 180mm. Printing was done with a 0.8mm nozzle for strong parts and fast results, with layer height set to 0.25mm and infill at 30%. Threaded rod pieces should be cut as follows: four at 230mm and two at 190mm. Assembly can be figured out using the provided pictures; any questions can be directed to the creator.
